474: <ul>
475: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
476: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
477: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
478: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
479:
480: <p>
481: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
482: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
483:
484: <p>
485: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
486: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
487: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
488:
489: <p>
490: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
491: read INSTALL.i386.
492:
493: <p>
494: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
495: at <i>CD1:4.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
496: use the
497: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
498: utility. The following is an example usage of
499: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,

519: your BIOS options first.
520: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.

729: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong>

737: <p>
738: <ul><pre>
739: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>

744: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
745: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
746: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
747: Using these files
748: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
749: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

766: <p>
767: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
768: <p>
769: <ul><pre>
770: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>

772: # <strong>cd ports</strong>

775: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
776: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
777: if you know nothing about ports
778: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
779: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
780: OpenBSD ports system.
781: <p>
782: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
783: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">
784: cvs(1)</a> if
785: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
786: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
787: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
788: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
789: like:
790: <p>
791: <ul><pre>
792: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_0</strong>
793: </pre></ul>
794: <p>
795: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
796: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
797: server.]
798: <p>
799: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
800: packages for the 4.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
801: <p>
802: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
803: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
804: place to know.
